Abstract

An absorbent article (1) especially adapted for users ranging from walking infants to adults in a predominantly lying down position, comprising cushioning means (33) in at least the back waist region (56) of the article (1). A liquid barrier (35) is located between the cushioning means (33) and the absorbent core (3) to prevent liquids from migrating into the cushioning means (33). In one embodiment, the average basis capacity of the absorbent core (3) is highest in the back half section of the core.
